All beaches have character…

January 17, 2023

All beaches have a character, defining aspects which mark them aside, unique. When too many people, more humans than sand and sea, there is no character, it’s just an occupied space. Port Melbourne – remarkable volume and array of shells, the gentle waves rolling over, caressing always a steady line of scattered galaxies of planets […]

Clearly, I had made some wrong turns in my planning for this trip…

January 3, 2023

(in response to a chum from the motherland offering playful sympathy for the bites and itches of vampiric winged little fangs seeking sustenance) …and as for the mozzies, bastards they are, no doubt,  yet there are worse and they appear in one of my favourite natural realms here, the beach. The more wild I hunt […]

HOWLING. Leave the screens alone…

November 29, 2022

My mind moves swift, learns rapid, understands complex and simple…is a high functioning thinking device. A long term fan of everything that causes my ponderings and perceptions to pause and reflect, be challenged, forced to grow… Sagan…Burroughs…not much more of human record has moved me in thought for so many moons. And yet…throwing myself into […]

burning and turning

November 18, 2022

The world is too long turning and burning in the wrong direction, Our overseer claws on the control panel gone berserk, finally challenged… So we lurch closer to not the nuclear exchange that seems topsoil worry, but the long considered plans to plunder all that is left, which includes not just Europe, but well beyond… […]

echoes from blunted fangs…

October 29, 2022

I used to have hope. prance playful as the sometimes sad presented wild clown, generally jestful, the more I delved deep below the topsoil, the less the circus smiled. Still, I clung to my inert Romeo complex, whilst this cynical questioning of EVERYTHING grew, was nourished further through what I felt was clinging to the […]

A new dawn?

September 23, 2022

I am often staggered by the power of the corporate mass propaganda machine. And must be suffering from some incredible borderline imbecile naivety as I continue to be shocked by how gullible, unthinking and so easily herded the majority of people have long become and continue to be. No matter how many times they are […]

Has Putin threatened to destroy the UNIVERSE???

September 23, 2022

Recent happenings are reported across the Western media as PUTIN THREATENS TO NUKE!!! RUSSIA ON THEIR LAST LEGS!!! All vaguely rooted in the recent speeches at the UN by Biden, and to the world from Putin/Shiogu. As always, there is a lot more to the public proclamations than has been cut, adorned and delivered to […]

The Count of Monte Cristo (Dumas) – REVIEW

September 10, 2022

I know a book is of special value when I reach the 700th page, see behind my right thumb a mere sliver of sheets left to devour and react by slowing down my reading pace to that of a koala so overcome with a particularly potent batch of Eucalyptus that movement of any kind, conscious […]

What will happen if Russia surrenders the war to Ukraine?

September 5, 2022

Russian forces appear to be steadily moving towards their main strategic goals. Once the East is cleaned up – which was always going to take time given the industrial factories and bunkers from soviet times very much fortified further over the last 8 years – Kherson will probably be the next focus, before Nikolaev and […]

The colour from out of space

September 5, 2022

Disturbing, erratic, curious. Hardly an avid fan of Lovecraft, but close to all my delvings into his writing have amazed me, for his voice was unique. His prose rich, dark and ever breathing life or seemingly shedding brief light upon the cruel and unknown to modern man vast depths of the universe moving in not […]
